The route from Palmdale, CA to Costa Mesa, CA covers roughly 77 miles by road, a south-bound trip that falls into the short-haul move category for pricing purposes.
Because the two cities are close together, most companies quote this move by the hour: a crew of two to four movers plus a truck, with the drive of about 2 h 2 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,720 and $2,560, before packing or storage.
On the Palmdale side there are 129 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (66 of them authorized for interstate work), and 425 around Costa Mesa (150 interstate). For an in-state move you can book from either end; movers near the origin handle loading and are usually the better first call, while a destination-side company can be useful if you need storage or delivery-day help in Costa Mesa.
Palmdale has a population of about 161,845 and Costa Mesa about 108,881. Costa Mesa is the denser city (7,083 people per square mile versus 1,597 in Palmdale), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.
